A WEDDING GARMENT IS REQUIRED

 A WEDDING GARMENT
IS REQUIRED


This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Into the splendor of Thy Saints how shall I, the unworthy one, enter?  For should I dare to enter the bridal chamber, my vesture doth betray me, for it not a wedding garment; and as one bound, I shall be caste out by the angels. 

No one but Christ can open the door to Paradise and it is required. Do you hope He will open it to you when you leave this world?  If so, then you will have given Him all of your heart NOW, in this life;  your words are not enough, you must be married to Him, which you had forsaken all for Him.  

THE WEDDING GARMENT YOU'LL NEED
St< Ignatios (Theophoros) was martyred by being fed to lions, they ate all but his heart and in it was inscribed in gold his wedding garment:
"Jesus Christ"

LOVE & DISCIPLINE



L O V E  &  D I S C I P L I N E




Our Lord’s gifts are always sourced in love because He is love. And, He is infinitely greater than his gifts

I think discipline must be embraced by love or it lacerates. Although irresistible by nature, love can be resisted but insulating one’s self from God, Who is love, is hell.

MORE BEAUTIFUL?





If you believe in the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit as Creator, then do you believe you were taken from the ground?

Genesis 3:19 KJV
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 

Continuing in your belief;  how would you describe that which dust is transformed into - dust into flora; dust into fauna; dust into human beings?  Since the number of descriptive words is colossal and even beyond the limit of language, lets allow the word "beautiful" to suffice and move on. 

Believing that the Creator made beautiful human beings, etc.
could the Creator have made them even more beautiful?  


Think About It {Pub.}

God calls dust into existence out of nothing by His will alone.  And then He commands the dust into a form, a man, not with a word or a twinkle, but again, by His will. And then, breathes His own image into him.  

Now think more about it.  Does it make sense that His only means of communicating with us is through the 5 senses?  Even a dog communicates with us by the same senses.  Now consider the scripture (St. Matthew 11:27) used in today's PARAGON logo.  When He says"...and he to whomsoever the Son reveals Him (the Father).  Did you think it would something like:  "I'd like you to meet...."

Now that you have thought about it, do you desire Christ to reveal God the Father to you?  Moses didn't see the Father, with his eyes, yet the Father was revealed to him, was He not?  Moreover, was Christ there in the flesh to reveal Him?  Think about it!
